6. Trace your lash line with a black liquid or gel liner, slightly extending the line upwards in the outer corners for a subtle cat eye effect. If using a gel or liner in a pot, apply with a slanted brush for a more precise application.

7. Curl your lashes if you want some extra oomph, otherwise finish your eyes with a coat or two of black volumizing mascara. Apply from root to tip, wiggling throughout to remove any clumps and to separate and define lashes. I like to use a clean mascara wand to separate any remaining clumps as a finishing touch.
